Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the
earth.
Matthew 5 v 5
Gentleness/ meekness is power under control. “It isn’t stress that kills us, it’s our reaction to it” Higher/lower technique: anger, loudness was met with quiet & peace Mirror neurons: when faced with anger, we tend to respond with anger. How easy is this?
God blesses those who are gentle. The whole earth
will belong to them!
Matthew 5 v 5
We respond gently when evil things are said about us.
1 Corinthians 4 v 13
In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching

condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have
nothing bad to say about us. Titus 2 v 8
